San Marcos Auto Repair

These folks took my completely dead car (electrical problems) back from the dead and back to life and drivability once again. I will trust them again with any repair.

Jay was great at diagnosing the problem and explaining what parts were affected with my Challenger when I was 200 miles away from home and the harmonic balancer failed. I now have a shop that is close to my daughter's college that I can use for both of us. I would visit her just to use his shop again. Professional service Trustworthy diagnosis!

Jay was the epitome of what you're looking for when it comes to being a great service advisor and communicator. Just tremendously happy with our Ridgeline and the timing/trans/tune that dealers took care of for us. Repeat customer just earned!

This establishment was very thorough and friendly with their approach and communication. They were accommodating with me to get the repairs done and the vehicle back on the road in a timely manner. I will return with another vehicle in the future. It’s been difficult to find a shop in this area with these qualities.

Jay is simply the best in the business. Highly recommended. Thank you Jay!

This is a great shop. They keep my 04 Z06 in working order. They have great pricing as well.

Great service. Diagnosed the problem and had it in and out within a couple days. Very professional and friendly. When moving to a new area its not easy finding a mechanic. Glad we found Dealer Alternative Auto. Will be using them from now on. Pricing was good compared to other shops.

My son’s car was making a grinding noise towards the front. I called and asked if they work on 2017 BMW xi28 and they said yes. We scheduled an appointment and they diagnosed the issue, gave me an estimate and a timeframe. The work was completed promptly and at a fair price. Good to know what I can depend on a great mechanic shop 600 miles away from home as my son attends Texas St!!

I always dread going to a mechanic because it’s never good…. until now. This place is awesome! Texted me letting me know how things were going. I got 1 car out of shop and dropped off another. Can’t say enough how impressed I am
